I did a build from trunk a few hours ago (configure/make/make  
install), and the migration appears to have gone fine, from an older  
trunk version dated several months ago (yeah, really old).  Programs  
still work, 'port [installed|contents|provides]' appears to list  
everything properly, stuff moved to /opt/local/var/macports and /opt/ 
local/etc/macports without incident.

Only issue I've seen is the .mpsaved files in receipts are left  
behind, is this deliberate?
